great looking crappie... and you did accomplish what you set out to do ( catch dinner ). I am new to crappie fishing but this trolling and spider-rigging appears to really put fish in the boat, one question though with the 2 types of fishing mentioned above is the learning curve very steep, I have heard a lot of guys talk of multiple lines in the water how often do you get tangled up. Early morning crappie fishing is awsome when you get there the water is still nice and smooth so you can stay on top of the fish or right next to them.
